Consider party location. Think about local locations that can easily be turned into a '70s haven. Whichever '70s theme you choose, you want to have adequate space. For instance, if you want a disco skating party, rent a skating rink. For a dance party, you can do this at home or rent a dancing area complete with dance floor.

Find party decorations. Consider plates, napkins, favors, cups, centerpieces and balloons. Your choice of decorations has a big impact on what '70s theme is right for you. Availability is important, so visit your nearby party store or search for party supplies online before finalizing your theme. Some popular theme ideas include: a disco party, dance party, "Saturday Night Fever," "M.A.S.H." or the tie-dye hippie theme.
